Porn DVDs from the States are Region 0 which should play anywhere provided your TV can cope with NTSC-mastered material, which it should if it's relatively new.

The time they take depends on whether the itme is in stock - which they don't indicate. If in stock they are reasonably quick, though not the fastest US site. That's Five Star in my experience.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately i have an oldish t.v. which i doubt will cope with NTSC material.

Yes they are quick. Postage is too high. They want $25 plus the domestic $9 for up to 5 items.

Do US supplied DVDs play on computer DVD drives?

True about postage, but for a lot of titles thier price is upo to 50% less than other mainstream US sites, so if you order in fair-ish quantities..........

But order more than one and you are then likely to be charged duty by our friends in customs!

If,like Richard,ur wary of customs I would recommend www.xonair.com 4 ur DVD's
They don't use the normal US Postal pkging.
Instead,they actually hand-write ur address on ordinary plain envelopes.
Possibly unique among suppliers of any reasonable size- and they do have a good range tho not as big as ,say, Jaded or Gamelink.
If u still get caught out then uve clearly even less reason 2
buy a lottery tckt than the rest of us !

Excalibur/Jaded will also do this on request: after all, if they want the repeat business......in addition, Excalibur spread out their despatches over a period of time so that hopefully the C&E bizzies don't notice- although this does mean that it can be a good while b4 your complete order is filled.
Things we have to do, eh? Perhaps we could club together and lure a competent drug smuggler away from his usual line of work...........is Howard Marks related to Harrison Marks, I wonder?

Gamelink, are doing FREE delivery worldwide just now, plus they have a sale on at present, so may be worth a visit instead of jaded, plus they have a decent money back scheme, I ordered 3 dvds, arrived not opened by customs 10 days later, unlike jaded who tend to sent them out individually.

Cheers for the advice guy's, my comment stemmed from an incident last week, after ordering and recieving several single DVD's, I tried for the first time, to get 2 DvD's at once to save on postage from Pornplex and lo and behold I was charged ?8.67 duty by our friends(not) at customs.
